Abstract:
The negative conditions that currently exist in Ukraine actualize the art-therapeutic possibilities of plein air for the prevention and removal of tension, fears, depression and other negative factors in school and student youth.
The educational purpose of plein air is inextricably linked with art therapy. The tasks of plein-air practice form both the professional skills of pupils and students, as well as artistic experience and the experience of observing one’s psycho-emotional state in the process of depicting a «mood landscape».
This made it possible to draw conclusions that outdoor classes raise the mood due to communication with nature, its sounds, aromas, states. In the study, common features and differences in the tasks of plein air and art therapy were identified, and the tasks of plein air were specified in accordance with art therapy.
As a result of each stage during a plein air we suggest that you play out the written sketches, drawings, and sketches in a performance to build empathy. If there are outsiders at the plein air involve them in the action, hold a vernissage, and organize a mini-exhibition with a discussion of the works. Analyzing the works during the events promotes tolerance towards the works of others, necessity to show kindness, generosity, empathy, compassion which reveals human qualities such as the ability to love oneself and those around you.
Thus, the peculiarities of the plein air in relation to art therapy in the process of obtaining art education for pupils and students have been clarified. The tasks of the plein air are correlated with the tasks of art therapy and aimed to achieve professional skills. They convey the mood in the landscape through lighting, nature phenomena and objects. Various materials are offered to solve these tasks which also transfer emotions through texture, color, line, and stain.
The plein air classes involve ideas about a natural environment, touch feelings, communication with the environment in the interconnection between spiritual and material world which fulfills the need for self-knowledge, self-expression and self-healing, and positive life perception. A joint plein air facilitates the interaction of its participants in co-creation, reflection on the results of their art work, and discussion others work through compassion and empathy.
The problem of using art therapy in relation to the types and genres of fine art and other special disciplines requires further research.
Keywords: plein air tasks, art therapy, students, pupils, psycho-emotional state, art education.
